Great thread and I will be back when I get into mastering. I will say much of this does not make sense to me, the db levels your talking about. I have all of the Waves volume maximizers and you can make things about as loud as you want with them with out distorting anything by squashing the heck...

All good suggestions and another thing I am going to look at is compression, I may be guilty of using too darn many plugins just because I have them. Not when recording but when mixing. I have read opposing views on compression and sibilance. Some say if you compress the heck out of your signal...

yes the noise I'm talking about is backround home noise, furnace fan I can shut off, if someone flushes the toilet upstairs, footsteps, I swear these mics pic up shit I don't even hear. Yes wee hours of the morning are best and I will have to be careful.

Sound forge is different than Vegas I believe. 10 years ago Vegas was a very good powerful DAW as well as video editor. It just has not kept up with Audio over the years. I wonder if the work flow and commands in sound forge are much the same as Vegas Edit pro? I have read many many times that...

Also , More Waves plugin's than I can count, Damn near all they have for audio.

Oops I forgot to mention For DAW I'm mainly running Reaper and also have Magix Edit pro 14. Don't get me going I used to love sony's Vegas for DAW but magix has gone high end video and pretty much left the audio DAW world behind at least with the Vegas products. A lot of audio studder, no VST3...

My mixing space is a painted drywall finished room, untreated, Rugs on the floor. And you are right it SHOULDN'T be this hard. But I am having a heck of a time. The earbuds were just one more thing for reference. I record my vocals with an AKG C214, or an AKG C3000B. I cut them clean with no...

Yes, what I'm shooting for is my recordings to sound professional, regardless of what they are played on. I am finding that a daunting task. Especially since most home studios like mine were set up on a budget. All my equipment probably cost 5k not 5 million. So at times I guess I have to learn...

Dave, I bought a Creative soundblaster card and installed it in the computer when it was new and disabled the onboard sound in device manager. Not sure it was an improvement, the thought was just that it will use less system resources than the onboard. Don't use it for recording have a Tascam...

Yes I know the quality is not there, but I was going to get a middle of the road Bluetooth earbud set just to check my mixes on. So many people listen to music on their smart phones, laptops, or with ear buds so I wanted to see how my mixes transfer as compared to commercial recordings. Yes I am...

I'm wondering if I have a aftermarket sound card installed in a PCI slot and the onboard sound chip set disabled if that will effect the computers ability to communicate with Bluetooth? Dell XPS tower bluetooth capable from the factory.

Looking for a good low cost software that will allow me to burn cd's with the song title , CD title, Artist name, Genre. Etc, Just the basics. not sure if Nero 2017 {I already own} or Roxio do this. Do I need anything fancier. I would either be transferring 16 bit cd files to the program or 24...

Anyone here using the Yamaha HS8's, Opinions vs others in that price range.

I do not have a control room, I have a home studio just for myself. My mics are in the same room as my monitors. I can hear because my monitors get their feed from my computer sound card not my interface. I am still learning. I am 62 and have come up from the old tape days. I used to track on a...

I might have described it wrong. It happens if I turn the computer on and launch reaper BEFORE I turn on the interface. It seems when I turn the interface on FIRST I have no problem. Easy to do, I was just curious as sometimes I forget to turn the interface on first. I guess I could leave my...

I have noticed a latency issue with my Tascam USB 16x08 interface. When I record in Reaper with direct monitoring everything monitors fine but on playback the vocal is not synced with the original tracks. I seem to not have this problem if I power up the Tascam before Iboot the computer or...

I suppose, I'm just an old guy trying to make music and I get testy when new things come along that are a nuisance or inconvenience and have nothing to do with creating or recording music. Just more hoops to jump through. If iLok was the one and only then okay but Waves has Waves Central and...

I'm not crazy about this iLok crap for these programs. Again the pirates just make it hard for the honest people.

Is one better than the other or are they just different. Each works better in different situations etc?

I've run Waves smack attack parallel on the entire kit, got some interesting sounds. Sometimes use it to add a little punch or brighten the whole it up a bit.
